The ATP system is an anaerobic system which produces explosive energy for roughly around 2 seconds. In this system there are 3 phosphates which produce energy when the bonds are broken by creatine kenase. The ATP system is built from ADP, which includes 2 phosphates + phosphate + energy. However the body only stores small amounts of ATP therefore once used up it needs to resynthesise.
Energy is stored in the phosphate bond form when ADP receives a phosphate group and becomes ATP.
You shouldn't find out on Answers.com because it is a useless site, ask.com is better. Anyway ATP stores energy and ADP releases energy.
yes
no! atp stores more! :)
ATP is more energitic than ADP because ATP has 3 high energy phosphet bonds out of which 3rd phosphate bond have highest energy which is not present in ADP (2 phosphate bonds)

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a multifunctional nucleotide that is most important as a "molecular currency"of intracellular energy transfer. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP), a nucleotide, is an important part of photosynthesis and glycolysis. ADP can be converted into ATP and is also the low energy molecule. ATP is the breakdown of food molecules. ATP is high energy bond as compared to ADP. ATP has three phosphate bonds and ADP has two phosphate bonds. Rest of the structure is common to both.
it is stored in the cloroplasts and then released through the rectum
ADP
No. They use ATP as an energy source (ADP is left over after the energy is used). There is no storage there. Animals use fat to store energy, plants use starch.
The purpose of ATP is to store energy. ATP stands for adenosine tri-phosphate, and the energy is mostly stored in the third phosphate bond. ATP is used by cells 24/7 as a form of energy. The purpose of ADP is to have to potential to store energy. ADP stands for adenosine di-phosphate, and when another phosphate is added onto the molecule it is called ATP and will store energy. When ATP releases energy the third phosphate comes off and it becomes ADP.

ATP is what energy is stored as in mitochondria in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. ADP is what is left when a triphosphate is used for energy in the cell for example facilitated diffusion where ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is used and it then becomes ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate).
ADP has two phosphate groups while ATP has three phosphate groups. Each phosphate group stores energy, so ATP would store more energy than ADP.
If you're referring to ADP to ATP, then yes. All other energy storing molecules ... no.
Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) has a structure that is similar to that of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP); the only difference is that ADP has two phosphate groups instead of three. When a Cell has energy available, it can store significant amounts of energy by adding a phosphate group to the ADP molecules producing ultra-energy rich ATP.
ATP can't lose energy......... because it is energy.
ADP has less potential energy than ATP has. In fact, there are 7.3 kc less energy in ADP than in ATP.

Energy in the body is formed when ATP is broken down into ADP. This reaction is therefore exothermic. Thus, the reverse reaction is going to be endothermic because energy is required in order to attach the phosphate to the ADP.
